VSCode Change Default Terminal

I am using Visual Studio Code on my Windows 10 PC. I want to change my default terminal from Windows PowerShell to Bash on Ubuntu (on Windows).

How can I do that?

Solution 1:

You can also select your default terminal by pressing F1 in VS Code and typing/selecting Terminal: Select Default Profile (or Terminal: Select Default Shell in older VSCode versions).

Solution 2:

I just type following keywords in the opened terminal;

1. powershell
2. bash
3. cmd
4. node
5. python (or python3)

See details in the below image. (VSCode version 1.19.1 - windows 10 OS)

It works on VS Code Mac as well. I tried it with VSCode (Version 1.20.1)

Solution 3:

Configure your default integrated terminal by running the Terminal: Select Default Profile command, which is also accessible via the terminal dropdown.
